Princetom1, she needs a name; what do we call her?

Oga where is our name?
I see you viewing

oblo:
Nothing ke??
Well it's worth a try. Easiest and quickest way to do that would be using plastic or vinyl wraps.

Bros, long time.
Plastidip or Vinyl wrap is also a long thing. Specialised skills required to implement too.

Prepare/Strip/mask surface to be wrapped/dipped
Wrap/Cut/trim/heat gun/finishing etc etc

No; not wrapping or dipping

obekediamondfuto:
paint

Painting is a long process:
Strip fittings and old paint,
fix dents,
source missing/damaged parts and trim,
apply primer,
mix/source paint,
spray/oven bake etc.....

No; painting is not the easiest way.

So I am out of town but I have been following developments remotely.

One question for the followers of this thread: What is the easiest (quickest) way to significantly change the exterior look of a project car?

Lexusgs430:
LOL....... Does this Be My Wife, have a spoil button? I hope it is hidden beyond reach?

Hmmm. People generally have a way of finding it no matter how well hidden

Lexusgs430:
The best way to drive this fuel guzzler, is from the rear......

If you eventually employ a driver, ensure he understands all the dials + warning lights......

We cannot shout o.. Nah so one bros driver wreck hin 7 series (760), due to overheating.......

Driver dey, he just won't come within 100 yards of her.
Maybe to change tyre and wash the exterior.
Can't even allow him top up the coolant or wiper wash fluid.
Before he goes and presses the spoil button

SirAbdulthe1st:
I saw 1995, and then the bolded, sorry, what do you mean please?

Yes sir. Car is 22 years old.
Median age in Naija is 17.9 years (see below)
Means half of the population is 17.9 years old and below and the other half is older than 17.9 years old.
Understood?

Statisticians, shay my definition of median is correct??

This vehicle was made with glass headlights. A rarity these days.

Totally useless fact alert: Did I mention that this vehicle is older than more than half of the population of Nigeria?

Quarter right side front and rear.
Body very straight.
Very minimal rust.
Rear right door has apparently had a makeover

This will be a slow burning one unfortunately.
Not enough time (and $$$) available like in the past.

Enough excuses! So what do we have here?
